Tyres & pressure according to conditions
The Fordson tractor requires specific tire pressures for optimal performance and safety. For the front tires with a size of 5.50*16, a pressure of 12 psi is recommended when operating on the road. This pressure ensures proper traction and stability while minimizing wear and tear on the tires. On the other hand, the rear tires, sized at 12.4*28, should be inflated to 32 psi when used on the road. This higher pressure provides the necessary support and load-bearing capacity for the rear of the tractor. By adhering to these tire pressure guidelines, Fordson tractor owners can ensure a smooth and efficient operation, while promoting the longevity of their tires.
